I have seen quite a number of state capitol buildings in my travels and I truly feel that the Minnesota State Capitol building is one of the best. Its magnificent architecture and large outdoor expanse of lawn as you approach its front, though not as large in size, is more similar to our nation's Capitol than almost any other. And... More

Doors to Capitol are on time lock, so they do not open until 10am, regardless of how cold, hot or miserable it might be outside. There are several benches where you can wait if you arrive before the doors are unlocked. Enter through the main entrance up the... More
